How do I add WMS Service?

NathanEnge · ‎03-04-2011

I tried looking in the concepts page, but it is a bit lacking on how to add WMS as mapservice.
If the WMS is located here:

http://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/imagex/ecw_wms.dll?service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=getcapabilities

And the layer I want to add as a <basemap> is within the above xml (and it is has the supported projection...):

<Layer queryable="0" opaque="0" noSubsets="0">
  <Name>BC_S5L5_BC_2004_2006_BCALB_15M_PANB321_ENH</Name>

  </Layer>

What would be the entry in the config.xml? Currently I have this:

<layer label="Aerial" type="wms" visible="false" 
       url="http://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/imagex/ecw_wms.dll?"
                   version="1.1.1"/>

But I don't know how to reference the particular layer...
Any guidance on this would be appreciated.

Try:

            <layer label="Aerial WMS" type="wms" visible="false" 
                   url="http://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/imagex/ecw_wms.dll"
                   skipgetcapabilities="true" version="1.1.1"
                   visiblelayers="BC_S5L5_BC_2004_2006_BCALB_15M_PANB321_ENH"/>

The layers are set in "visiblelayers". You need to also set "skipgetcapabilities" to true since they don't have a crossdomain.xml file at http://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/crossdomain.xml that allows other domains to request the capabilities.

THANKS!!!!
It is somewhat less intuitive as REST endpoints are.
